A pedestrian walks past a mural that reads in Spanish "Imperialism" in Caracas, Venezuela, Thursday, July 17, 2014. Almost four years after Venezuela enacted a law to bar the U.S. from funding groups frequently critical of the socialist government, millions of the American dollars the administration tried to ban still flow to these organizations, an analysis by The Associated Press shows. Much more U.S. support is under consideration. (AP Photo/Fernando Llano)

FILE -- In this file photo taken in Rome on May 21, 2014, former Italian Premier and Forza Italia (Go Italy) party leader Silvio Berlusconi talks during the recording of a tv-talk show. An Italian court on Friday was considering its decision on former Premier Silvio Berlusconi's appeal against a sex-for-hire case that revealed details of raunchy, sex-fueled bunga-bunga parties at his private villa attended by a bevy of aspiring showgirls. Berlusconi was sentenced to seven years in jail and handed a lifetime political ban after being convicted last year of paying for sex with an underage prostitute and then using his influence to cover it up. He denies the charges. (AP Photo/Andrew Medichini)
